What it is

The GCA 6100 C Wafer is a lithography wafer stepper for 100 mm wafers.[1][2]

The GCA 6100 C Wafer uses a Maximus 1000 light source, a 150 mm X/Y stage travel, an AWH1 automatic wafer handler, and a 10X g-line lens with NA=0.28.[1][2]

How it works

The GCA 6100 C Wafer includes manual reticle alignment, a wafer alignment microscope with camera, HP laser and HP laser compensator probes, and equipment overlay reticles.[1][2]

The GCA 6100 C Wafer includes a climate control HEPA chamber, a pneumatic flotation base, and a control stack with an RZE PC upgrade controller, alignment monitor, PC monitor, power controls, stage control chassis, AWH chassis, and Maximus 1000 lamp controller.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The GCA 6100 C Wafer is configured for 100 mm wafers and is suited to lithography work that uses g-line exposure optics.[1][2]

Applications

The GCA 6100 C Wafer is used for mask-based optical lithography on 100 mm wafers.[1][2]
